Jelani Maraj: Nicki Minaj’s brother charged with raping 12-year-old, Report

Jelani Maraj, the brother of Nicki Minaj, has allegedly been charged with raping a 12-year-old on Long Island.

The brother of the ‘Anaconda’ singer was reportedly arraigned on Dec. 3, and has been freed from jail on a $100,000 bail, according to reports.

Jelani Maraj had been in the news with his sister recently when he married longtime girlfriend Jacqueline Robinson on Aug. 22 at Coral House in Baldwin, where Minaj wore a red Alexander McQueen gown.

His superstar sister, who last month won the American Music Awards’ rap/hip-hop artist of the year and favorite rap/hip-hop album, had posted photos from the wedding on her Instagram account. With one photo, she wrote “Jelani, I love u more than you’ll ever comprehend” and ended her sentiment with a teary-eyed emoticon.

Jelani Maraj was released on bail Thursday from the Nassau County jail in East Meadow, authorities there said.

The name of his attorney was not immediately available.
